Clever.

Kit Connor and Joe Lock, who play Charlie and Nick, have previously been vocal about their hopes for a follow up, with Kit telling Cosmopolitan UK, "All of us [are keen for a season two.] Every single one of us - we all would love to come back. And hopefully if you guys enjoy this first season, then we will."

Heartstopper cast confirm season 2 is in production with cute video

Back in September 2022, Netflix UK and the official show account posted a video on Instagram confirming production had started. Featuring some memorable faces from series one, the video also lets the cat out of the bag that they're expanding the cast. The caption reads: "HEARTSTOPPER SEASON 2 IS OFFICIALLY IN PRODUCTION! 🍂 get ready to say hi to some brand new faces."

What could happen in season 2 of Heartstopper?

"The Paris trip!" Kit told Cosmopolitan UK. "I'd love to see more of Isaac, Elle and Tao. I'd love to see a bit more of Tori as well." Kizzy Edgell, who plays Darcy, added, "Darcy gets everyone drunk in Paris, so I think that would be kind of fun."

Elsewhere, a season two could also give us a more in depth look at Charlie and Nick's romance, now that they've been on their first official date to the seaside. There's no doubt Ben, who threatened to expose the secret relationship, will continue to stir up trouble, while fans are hoping to see Tao and Elle's relationship develop.

The third book's official description reads, "Charlie didn't think Nick could ever like him back, but now they're officially boyfriends. Nick's even found the courage to come out to his mum.

"But coming out isn't just something that happens once - there's Nick's older brother, and a school trip to Paris, not to mention all the other friends and family - and life can be hard, even with someone who loves you by your side. As their feelings get more serious, Charlie and Nick will need each other more than ever before."
